Most new auto radios don't fit because of the depth... especially the CD units... they get bigger and bigger because they are making them with more and more power and features... mostly the Blaupunkts seem to fit, but unfortunately the Blaupunkts are not at the front of the pack for quality... but then, you probably can't hear the difference in a vanagon anyway due to all the background noise.
